Function documentationReposting Costs and Revenues Manually

 

You can repost primary costs manually using transaction-based reposting. The original cost element is always retained. This function is intended mainly to adjust posting errors.

You should always adjust posting errors in the application component where they occurred. This ensures that external and internal accounting are always reconciled. You can only adjust posting errors involving one cost accounting object (a cost center or internal order, for example) using a transaction-based reposting in Controlling (CO).

To repost collective postings from one cost center to other cost centers at period end, you can use periodic repostings (see: Periodic Repostings).

Note Note

In Activity-Based Costing, you can only repost costs.

Note Note

You can only post revenues as statistical items to cost centers. These revenues cannot be included in periodic allocations.

End of the note.

Example Example

For the cost element External services, 10,000 USD was mistakenly assigned to cost center 4210 instead of 4220. In transaction-based reposting you can repost the full amount to the correct cost center using the same cost element. This transaction affects only CO, since the costs are debited to cost center 4220 and credited to cost center 4210 under the same cost element.

End of the example.

Note Note

If you are working with transfer prices (parallel value flows), you cannot repost costs or revenues for parallel valuations. You need to use the function for reposting line items (see: Reposting Line Items).

For more information on transfer prices, see Multiple Valuation Approaches in Overhead Cost Controlling, and the SAP Library under Start of the navigation path Financials Next navigation step EC Enterprise Controlling Next navigation step EC Profit Center Accounting Next navigation step Transfer Prices Next navigation step Multiple Valuation Approaches/Transfer Prices End of the navigation path.
